For part 2 of our conversation with UFC light heavyweight fighter Khalil Rountree Jr and domestic violence expert Rebecca Lee, do you know someone who struggles to keep it together during a high stakes encounter? Maybe you do. What about understanding when and how it’s ok to be angry and / or violent? Or processing your inner-demons? In this episode we go through techniques for managing anger and other potentially overwhelming emotions from two people who know better than almost anyone on the planet.
